Here we go again.
EA recently announced that they would be shutting down Visceral games. The studio behind Battlefield Hardline and Dead Space was working on a new Star Wars game at the time, which will be moved to a new studio. From a recent news post on EA’s site:
A development team from across EA Worldwide Studios will take over development of this game, led by a team from EA Vancouver that has already been working on the project. Our Visceral studio will be ramping down and closing, and we’re in the midst of shifting as many of the team as possible to other projects and teams at EA.
– Patrick Söderlund
As to what the development means for Amy Hennig (director for many of the Uncharted games), who left Naughty Dog in 2014 to join Visceral Games, there’s no official word. Though chances are she’ll still be part of EA’s future plans. And as to what caused EA to shutter the studio, all we have are rumors. Though you can’t help but wonder if it has to do with that untitled Star Wars game.
